SCENE II [Notes and Emendations to the 1632 Folio]11Q0354. Another part of the Forest. Enter Jaques and Lords, like Foresters.

Jaq.

Which is he that killed the deer?

-- 78 --

1 Lord.

Sir, it was I.

Jaq.

Let's present him to the duke, like a Roman conqueror; and it would do well to set the deer's horns upon his head for a branch of victory.—Have you no song, forester, for this purpose?

2 Lord.

Yes, sir.

Jaq.

Sing it: 'tis no matter how it be in tune, so it make noise enough.


SONG.
What shall he have, that kill'd the deer?
His leather skin, and horns to wear.
Take thou no scorn, to wear the horn;
It was a crest ere thou wast born.
    Thy father's father wore it,
    And thy father bore it:
The horn, the horn, the lusty horn,
  Is not a thing to laugh to scorn. [Then sing him home4 note: the rest shall bear this burden.] [Exeunt.
